SPP7: A colourful future?   pp487 - 488 Oliver Graydon doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.136 As the plasmonics community meets in Jerusalem, the hunt to make it a more practical technology continues. The use of new materials and applications in colour printing could be part of the answer. Physics: Laser-guided sparks   p488 Noriaki Horiuchi doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.138 Spin optics: Between two spins   pp489 - 490 Mirko Cinchetti doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.135 The ultrafast enhancement of the exchange interaction between two spins in an antiferromagnetic insulator can now be detected, thanks to an all-optical pump–probe method based on stimulated two-magnon excitation. See also: Letter by Batignani et al. Review Top Status and prospects for ternary organic photovoltaics   pp491 - 500 Luyao Lu, Mary Allison Kelly, Wei You and Luping Yu doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.128 The benefits of designing and constructing organic solar cells featuring more than a single donor and single acceptor material are discussed.
